Web Inspector

Web Inspector is a built-in feature of the
BlackBerry® Browser that allows developers to inspect and debug their web source code.
Web Inspector allows developers to inspect web content that is displayed
through the browser, or in standalone applications that use the browser engine,
such as
BlackBerry®
WebWorks™ applications. Web
developers can use Web Inspector to manipulate the DOM, edit and debug
JavaScript® code,
analyze resource requests, and audit the performance of your web content and
web applications in near real-time.

Developers can access Web Inspector functionality using a
BlackBerry
smartphone or
BlackBerry tablet,
or using a
BlackBerry
Smartphone Simulator or
BlackBerry Tablet
Simulator.

The
BlackBerry Browser uses a client-server architecture to make Web Inspector
functionality available to developers. The
BlackBerry Browser acts as a web server. It serves the page over HTTP over a
Wi-Fi® connection;
developers inspect the content remotely on a desktop browser. Developers can
use any
WebKit-based desktop
browser on the same
Wi-Fi network to navigate to
the IP address and port number used by the
BlackBerry Browser and begin inspecting the code.

By default, Web Inspector is disabled in the browser. To use the Web
Inspector, it must be in the
BlackBerry Browser options. Once Web Inspector is enabled, the browser provides the
IP address and port number it will use to serve the content.
